LTC is a troll I normally avoid to feed. Now I'm surprised to read only LTC lovers' posts. What's going on? LTC doesn't add anything essential to BTC and the faster block intervall doesn't add security neither. The "only GPU" promise means it will have to change the algo every month or faster to an un-announced new and very different algorithm once ASIC miners try to profit on their investment out of LTC mining in very short terms.

This forever +1

But by god, the LTC trolls do keep on trying. Also, I'm pretty sure that when LTC started it was "cpu only!", so I'm not so sure why they think saying "gpu only!" now means anything. Oh well.

Actually BTC is exploding, and LTC is riding the coat tails. That said, why not? Crypto is crypto.

then why isn't TRC and PPC?

Actually TRC profitability for mining jumped to 488% compared to bitcoin. Briefly, but still. There is so much money entering the bitcoin ecosystem that alt-coins are doing quite well. And TRC is great for prototyping for Bitcoin. I've been building this service: www.terrawallet.com as an online wallet for TRC, once the kinks are all worked out, it's trivial to fire it up for BTC. A lot of people, especially those developing for BTC will find that feature about TRC useful.
